After an almost three month wait,

the campus community of its newest
chief administrator.
The feedback regarding the chancellor
search committee’s selection ofcurrent
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs James Oblinger as
N.C. State’s 13th chancellor has struck
a chord with much ofthe campus com~
'
munity.
Dennis Brown, department head of
molecular and structural biochem-'
istry, said he wasn’t surprised at the
appointment of Oblinger from with
the institution.
“I think he is an outstanding choice,”
Brown said. “He is outgoing, has wonderful public relations skills...He will
continue to put a good face on this
university.”
During his 18-year tenure at NC.
State, Oblinger served in his current
position as well as the Dean ofthe College ofAgriculture and Life Sciences.
Brown, who was recruited by Oblinger
in 1997, said that the provost would do
a good job maintaining the quality of
education of not just CALS, but the
entire university.
“NC. State is a school with a signifiCant agricultural composition. We
have a significant responsibility to the

agricultural community and I believe
he is an excellent person to meet that
need,” Brown said. “He will certainly
be able to balance the essential nature
of the agricultural program with that
of the basic sciences.”
Some students, such as biological sci—
ences freshman Grace Riddle, said that
Oblinger’s history at the university
makes him a good selection as chief
administrator.
“It’s a good thing, since he’s been here
so long,” Riddle said. “The experience
alone makes him a good choice.”
According to Physics Professor Albert
Young, the provost’s past experiences as
an educator and a researcher ofagriculo
ture and food science give him a good
opportunity to improve the university,
especially in the field of research.
“It’s never a bad time to look at any
Research—I university to see if the research being done is being efficiently
communicated to the community and
the public,” Young said. “With his background in research I think he will put a
personal stake in it.”
Although most faculty and staff are
happy with the selection ofOblinger as
the new chancellor, many students have
been largely unaware ofthe university’s
recent actions.

with students, faculty and
staff to enhance the benefits
and respond effectively to the
challenges of diversity,” Picart
said. “What I plan to do is pres—
ent student’s responses to the
survey without my editorial
comments”
More than 4,600 undergraduate and graduate students completed the survey.
The preliminary results show
a clearer picture into student
opinion about diversity.
When asked if NCSU has
achieved its goal of being a diverse community, 60.5 percent
of graduate and 85.4 percent
of undergraduate students
agreed or strongly agreed.
70.2 percent of graduate and
80.1 percent of undergraduate students say that NCSU
provides an environment for
the free expression of ideas,
beliefs and opinions.
“The survey measured the
perception of students about
the college experience and how
diversity fits into that,” Karrie
Dixon, assistant Vice provost
for student diversity, said.
The survey had eight sections
and asked questions about students’ perceptions about diversity, how included they felt on
campus and in the classroom
and how the university could .
improve its response to diversity-related issues.
“We can use these results in
determining the need to make
NCSU diverse, or help the perception that NCSU is diverse,”
Dixon said.
Dixon also said that if students felt they are not welcome,
that they usually take the initiative and inform the Office
of Diversity about that.
“By promoting inclusiveness,
we are able to address issues
and the value of diversity in
the classroom and on campus,”
concerning this year’s celebrations.

Morris, head of Digital Library
Initiatives,
NCSU Libraries received this
project due to its experience
working with local governments in acquiring GIS data
and also due to the GIS activity
on campus.
NCSU Libraries began corn—
piling this data in the mid-905.
In 2003, NCSU Libraries received an International Special
Achievement in GIS award.
Several other universities
competed for similar opportunities. Universities receiving
grants include the University
of California-Santa Barbara
and Stanford University. They
are also working on geospatial
projects.
Students, faculty and staffwill
all be able to use this information for research projects.
Some prime examples will
be evident in “student research
projects and exercises for class in
fields such as natural resources, _
soil science, agriculture, civil
engineering and education,”
according to Morris.
The initiative will also create
student jobs.
According to Morris, NCSU.
Libraries will be hiring quali—
fled students with backgrounds
in GIS or computer science. '
“These tasks will include
transferring data, ingesting data
into the repository and creating
and assigning metadata for the
data,” Morris said.
The NCSU Libraries worked
very closely with colleges within
the university to jump--start this
program.
“The Center for Earth Observation within Natural Resources
was instrumental in helping to
get the Libraries’ GIS program
going,” Morris said.

At 8:30 p.m., a half—hour after the show
was supposed to begin, word began to
spread throughout the amphitheater at
Alltel Pavilion that Brandon Boyd — the
leadsinger ofthe Rock outfit Incubus
—— had not yet arrived. Patrons began to
get nervous as more fans who had attend—
ed an artist meet-and- greet prior to the
event started gossiping of Boyd’s absence
and the word that he had been arrested at
LaGuardia Airport in New York.
The press representative and myself
merely brushed off the buzz saying that
they were just rumors.
Oh, but the rumors were true. Boyd
was stopped Wednesday afternoon at the
US. Airways terminal at LaGuardia when
baggage screeners spotted a knife in his
carry-on luggage, said Lou Martinez, a
spokesman for the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey.
Following four hours with a desk ap-
pearance ticket, Boyd was charged with
criminal possession of a weapon. After
admitting to accidentally leaving the
knife in his bag, Boyd nonchalantly re—
plied, “My bad.”
‘
With only 22 minutes before he was
scheduled to go on stage, Boyd arrived in
Raleigh and was escorted by a police caravan to the pavilion
“That was the most Rock star of an entrance I’ve ever made,” Boyd said. “The
police cars pulled up to the venue and I
literally walked right on stage.”

What can be said about Stephen Lynch and Mitch Hedberg that has not already been

Comedy Central and their solo

“God is writing this album. God is working through
me.” Marvin Gaye considered both the inspiration and
eventual production of “What’s Going On” to be gifts
directly from God. A deeply spiritual —- as well as political — album, “What’s Going On” is Gaye’s reflection
on the state of American society in the early 19705.
Gaye’s first opportunity to speak his
views through music
came to him in late
1970, when friend and
fellow musician Obie
Benson brought him
a song: “What’s Going
On.”
After its recording,
however, Motown Records rejected the song
as “uncommercial”

itself, which had never Released: May 20, 1971
released such a po~
litically-charged song;
only Gaye’s refusal to record anything else caused Mo~
town to relent.
As it turns out, listeners responded with extreme
enthusiasm; “What’s Going On”'tapped many popular
sentiments toward the Vietnam War and expressed the
general unrest that hung over the early 1970s. Instead
of merely commenting on and lamenting society’s
problems, however, “What’s Going On” also provided a
solution: “War is not the answer/ For only love can con—
quer hate.” This musical juxtaposition of despair and
hope grabbed public attention and the single quickly
rose in popularity. Within a matter of months, Motown
insisted that Marvin Gaye record an entire album in the
same genre of political commentary which he did,
over a strenuous 10 day recording session in March of
1971. The product, titled after the single that started it
all, remains one of— if not the -— most influential and
important albums of all time for its raw depiction of
what American society had become.
Although several tracks became hit singles —— “What’s
' Going On,” “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Hol—
ler)” and “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” —— the al—
bum best fulfills its calling when taken as a whole. The
first six songs blend so seamlessly that it’s difficult to
perceive the breaks between tracks, effectively forming
.
an informational and reflective epic.
Gaye designed the flow of “What’s Going On” to en—
lighten listeners about each major societal disaster in
turn —— war in Vietnam, drugs, unemployment and
environmental destruction, to name a few all of
:which were evolving during that time into serious is- , sues for the average citizen.Yet beyond the social issues
: . ‘often cited, when discussing the impact of “What’s Go~
' ing On,” Marvin Gaye also infuses the album with his
own spirituality; resonating amidst the problems is his
sense of God’s place in the answer. In the liner notes,
Gaye states that “We’ve got to find the Lord/ Allow Him.
to influence us/ I mean what other weapon have we to
fight the forces of hatred and evil.”
“Right On” reminds listeners that “Love can conquer
hate every time/ Give out some love and you’ll find/
Peace sublime.”
“God Is Love” recalls our moral obligation to compassion: “He made this world for us to live in and gives
us everything/ And all He asks of us is we give each
other love.” .
Regardless ofyour religious persuasion —— or lack
thereof—- everyone can act on Gaye’s mandates to
“Love your mother, she bore you/ Love your father, he
works for you” and to “Love your brother.”
Gaye stresses the idea of family, insinuating that
strong bonds between “brothers,” whether geneticallyrelated or merely your fellow man, will reduce crime,
poverty and the “trigger happy policing” that he bemoans in “Inner City Blues.”
Inspiring succeeding R8<B greats to infuse their music
with more meaning and substance, “What’s Going On”
—- though initially controversial has left quite a legacy. Despite its release over 30 years ago, the issues that
Marvin Gaye discusses and the solutions he offers -— to
“Save the Children” and to reflect God’s “Love” —— still ’
are relevant today.
Catholic priest, dead girlfriends, ugly babies and a “special” friend.
With his clean—cut persona and guitar in
hand, Lynch walked on stage to perform a
long set that would be a tough one to follow. Opening up with “Baby” —- a song
about his wife giving birth to an ugly baby
then him asking the doctor to put it back
in —— I found myself battling whether to
feel bad for the Wife and child or to laugh
at Lynch’s cynicism.
Shortly thereafter, Lynch affirmed he actually didn’t have a child — this served as
a reminder that his comedy is all tonguein-cheek.
The highlight of his set was “Special.”
A song that must be heard or seen to be
understood, “Special” is a tale of a childhood friend of his named Ed. Through the
course, Lynch tells the audience a story of
his “special” friend: “I ran track/ Hang out
in malls/ Ed ran head first into walls/ I had
girls/ Lots of clothes/ Ed had names for all

album, it took the audience’s
eruption for me to recoginize
his presence.
Opening his 45—minute set,
Kweller performed “BK Baby,”
a jovial song that pokes fun
at Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby.”
Upon closing the intro track,
Kweller — in his green, Christmas-themed sweater that looks
like it was bought from a thrift
store — proclaimed, “Merry
Christmas Raleigh! How ya’ll
doing tonight.”
It was with that Comment, I ‘
knew Kweller’s performance
.was going to be far from the
ordinary.
With songs that rang simi—

(“Hospital Bed”), Kweller’s
high-energy act pumped the
crowd up for an evening of
dirty adrenaline.
However, as easily as he
brought the crowd to their feet,
he sat them down.
Kweller’s Ben Foldsostyle
‘piano melodies were called

Another crowd pleaser came in the form
of “She Gotta Smile.” Lynch was joined
on stage by his merchandise manager/
comedian as they continued into a song
about finding love in a bar... with a twist:
“She gotta smile/ And she’s flashing it right
at me/ She got a wink/ A wink across the

And I think it could be my day/ She gotta
friend/ Ew she’s gOtta friend/ Why she’s
standing in her way/ It’s a big fat friend/
Oh God there’s always one.”
Lynch’s hilarious performance was fol—
lowed by Hedberg, an event that should
have followed Lynch.
. Hedberg is known for his off-kilter comedian styling of one-liners as he staggers
among the stage with his hair flapping in
his face.
Although there were a few comedic puns,
the overall show was overshadowed by his
acting too inebriated. Whether or not it
was just an act or not, I don’t know, but
several audience members walked off as
his ramblings were often incoherent and
he was just plain sloppy.
On a brighter side, his bit with the spot—
light guy was gut—wrenchingly funny. As
he ran across the stage screaming exple—
tives at the spotlight guy, Hedberg was
dodging out of the light only to follow by
proclaiming his respect for the light guy.
His ghost jokes were also humorous.
One came in the form of a story ofbeing
in a hotel and seeing a sheet on the floor.
Hedberg told the audience that he believed _
the sheet to be ghost that had passed out
on the floor. Another was delivered as he
wrapped a microphone cord around a
stool and he walked off stage. Giving the
appearance of the stool moving by itself,
Hedberg noted that the BLT Center (as he
called it) is haunted.
The entire show was overall entertain—
ing, but I expected more from Hedberg. He
sometimes uses different forms of comedy
to earn laughter and this has made him
one of the top comics of today —- but his
overly intoxicated act was justover the top.

energy remains until play concludes two hours later, regard—

One cannot help but be
drawn to the enigmatic per—
sonality and animated antics
of Bentley while cheering on
the Pack.
“She has so much enthusi—

Stefani Eddins said. “She gets
everybody pumped — she’s
always yelling and jumping
around. That is one good girl
to have as a libero. She always
keeps you hyped.”
Bentley has demonstrated her
potential as a scrappy player as
well this season, contributing
technical ability to the back
row.
Regardless ofthe floor burns
and bruised bottoms that
could potentially ensue, Bentley savors the opportunity to
scramble for a successful dig.
“She gives 100 percent every
single play, every single day,”
Coach Mary Byrne said. “She
has such a passion for the
game, a never— say—die attitude
out there on the court. She is a
really great person to coach.”
Freshman outside hitter Emily Bertrand concurs. “She has
a great attitude. Andrea is a
spark and makes playing fun
because she plays with so much
heart.”
“Andrea is the biggest firecracker I have ever seen on the
court,” junior middle blocker
Adeola Kosoko said. “She light—
ens up my life when we are out
there.”
Bentley feels such energy
and enthusiasm is an essential
component of her team contri—
bution. “I feel like enthusiasm
is my job,” she said. “If I can
contribute that and it helps us
do well, then I have done my
part.”
'
Bentley was drawn to State
for the team chemistry that she
strives to promote.
“On my first official visit, I
met the girls and I loved them.

loved the way they coached.

do.”
Her responsibilities as libero,
meaning “free” in Italian, notably restrict Bentley.
The specialized position,
implemented by the NCAA in
just the past few years, includes
an array of substitutionary and
play constraints.
Allowed to perform solely as
a back row player, she is unable
to complete an attack hit from
anywhere on the court if the
ball lies completely above the
net.
‘
Additionally, she not allowed
to block or attempt to block.
Most notably, Bentley wears a
separate colored jersey from
the rest ofthe team.
Bentley, a biological sciences .
major, is a Cary native and
Cardinal Gibbons graduate.
“I love Raleigh, so that is why
I stayed here,” Bentley said. “I
really like the people at State.”
Despite its close proximity,
Bentley has only been able to
visit home once this season.
The hectic schedule of the
team —— practices, matches and
extensive travel — has required
complete attention.
But the calendar has failed to
visibly impact Bentley’s vital—
ity.
‘
“Andrea is our spark,” senior
outside hitter Melanie Rowe
said. “She keeps us motivated
on the court.”
Byrne has no doubt Bentley
will continue to encourage the
team this season with inspiring

though Adarius Bowman, Fred Sparkman and Isiah Thomas

”All I know is thatsixpoints were taken offthe board. You
know what, ifwe had walkedin, we wouldn’thave this, so
let’s move on.”
- N.C. State Coach Chuck Amato’s swift response after the
Wolfpack had an initial touchdown taken away in the closing sec—
onds in a loss to UNC Saturday. The other great mystery: why did
the refs also decide to take 10 seconds offthe clock even though
the play was whistled dead and the Tar Heels called a timeout?

Panel Discussion —— How
quality Will effect the next
generation of professionals
Georgia Tech defense
Just a week after the Yellow Jackets defense made Miami quarterback Brock Berlin look like an All-American, it stifled the Maryland offense, holding the Terps to 81 total yards. The home loss
snapped Maryland’s i3—game home win streak. Apparently the
”we must protect this house” pre-game speech didn’t emotionally touch the Terps the way it has in the past.

The Cavaliers started the season 4—0 and soared to a No.9 rank. ing, but hadn’t played any formidable opponents until it took
Clemson behind the wood shed last Thursday. Next up for Virginia: The Seminoles, which has fans remembering the Cavs upset win over FSU in 1995. Former FSU tailback Warrick Dunn still
has bad memories about being stopped at the goal line.

N.C. State—UNC zebras
. First it was a touchdown, then it wasn’t. First it seemed like a
probable win for NC. State, then it wasn’t. Even though the ref
closest to the play signaled T.A. McLendon’s second-to-last run
against the Tar Heels a touchdown, it was nullified moments later
and the Wolfpack eventually lost the game — and possibly hope
for a decent bowl bid.
Florida State
The Seminoles looked inept against Syracuse on Saturday night,
trailing for most ofthe game before scoring the game-winning
touchdown in the fourth quarter. After the Orange lost to Purdue
51-0 and Virginia 31 -10, it has to make people wonder how good
the Seminoles really are.

Miami, Amato nas defeated
every conference opponent
except Maryland. The losses
have all been decided in the final quarter, with the Terps’ win
in Amato’s first year coming in
extra time.
Quarterback jay Davis says
the Maryland win streak is
definitely something the team
thinks about going into the
week.
“When you’re 0—4 against a
team,” Davis said. “They certainly put a feeling in your gut
that you don’t like.”
A focus for the defense this
.week will be creating turnovers. Since the Richmond
contest at the beginning of the
season, State has given up more
turnovers than it has created in
each game.
Graham said he was surprised
that a defense as aggressive as
State’s hasn’t taken the ball
away more.
“That’s a big issue we have on
defense — not being able to get
turnovers,” Graham said. “I’m
really surprised it’s turned out
that way.”
FOOTBALL
continued from page 8
Amato’s job is to convince
the players to forget about it
as well.
Free safety Troy Graham said
forgetting would be a difficult
task, but something State has
to do with a game at Maryland
looming.
“That’s going to be har ,”
Graham said. “We are going
to watch film of it [Monday],
and after that it shouldn’t be
discussed.”
After Monday, the attention
turns to the Terrapins, which
have won its last four games
against the Wolfpack.
State has led at the half of
each of those contests, only to
have the Terrapins rally for a
late win.
Thefourth quarter has been
especially painful for State,
where Maryland has always
found a way to win while the
Pack has found a way to lose.
Amato said that he would be
still be satisfied with a late lead
this year, though.
“I just hope we can get to the
fourth quarter and be in that
position,” Amato said.
Apart from ACC newcomer
Two captains go down
Two team captains, center Ied
Paulsen and roverback Andre
Maddox, left the Carolina
game with injuries. Maddox
re-injured the hamstring that
kept him out early in the year,
while Paulsen suffered an ankle
injury.
Maddox was the team’s leading tackler in 2003, and often
helped point out defensive
assignments to the less experience players on the field. Amato
equated losing Maddox to losing a starting quarterback on
offense.
“It’s like losing Philip Rivers
— your quarterback just went
out of the game,” Amato said.
Paulsen, the team’s starting
center, will not play against
Maryland and is out indefinitely with his injury.
Amato said that he expected
to find out more later on Mon~
day, but that the injury didn’t
sound good.
Leroy Harris will shift over
from guard to center, where
he played for 19 snaps against
North Carolina.
‘ Harris, a Raleigh native
and freshman All-American,
is normally the Pack’s starting guard. Preseason backup
center Kalani Heppte has yet
to play this season after injur—
ing himself prior to the team’s
opening game Sept. 4 against
Richmond.

ofhis early life in Mexico and

nitely part of my history and
choice. Salter’s father was a
cultureand definitely helped
me to be what I want to be.”
Although Salter, Sr. retired
from the NFL before his son
was born, Salter, Jr. said that he
has had a chance to see several
old videos of his father in the
pros.
“I didn’t get to see him play
but we have a lot of tapes, and
he talked to me a lot about it.
He really inspired me.”
There is a way to appease
these nay~sayers of instant
replay at the college level,
though.
In the NFL, during the second and fourth quarters when
there is outside Of five minutes
left to play, if a player goes out
of bounds then the clock starts
running again once the ball is
spotted by the ref.
This isn’t the case in college, because the clock stops
every time a player steps out of
bounds
Ifthe NFL time-management system is implemented
at the college level then it will
shave at least 10-15 minutes off
a game. That is plenty of time
to run instant replay procedures without slowing down
the length of the game.
All the other instant replay
rules of the NFL should be
brought into the college game
like allowing each coach two
challenges per game, and have
the booth decide which calls
can be challenged in the last
two minutes of each half.
With new technology and
multiple cameras on the field
at all times, using replay will
greatly enhance the ability of
refs to fix their mistakes, and it
will prevent such a detrimental outcome like the one N.C.
State faced last Saturday night.
But enough about instant
replay. I have to go move my
tractor, because it’s doubleparked in the Dan Allen parking deck.
SALTER

RYAN
continued from page 8
Instant replay has had
rousing success upon its lat-'
est stint to the NFL, which
continued in 1999. Replay has
been experimented with on a
year-by-year basis in the NFL
from 1986-1991 and was also
tested during 1986 and 1998
preseason games, and it seems
to have become a permanent
fixture in the league now.
There-are some critics of
instant replay who say it slows
the game down, but I haven’t
really seen this problem with
NFL games. Anyway, would
anyone really mind if a college
football game lasted 15 extra _
minutes?

I heard it all when I went out
in Chapel Hill Saturday night
after NC. State lost to UNC—
Chapel Hill on a controversial
call.
“Drive
your tractor back to
Raleigh”
and “we’ll
be your
boss one
day” were
just a
Ryan
couple of
Reynolds
the edited
DeputySports Editor
versions
of clichés
I heard from North Carolina
students that night.
Those comments don’t
bother me too much because
Carolina students can’t help it.
They are genetically altered to
become arrogant about sports
and social status once theytake
a sip ofwater from the Old
Well.
Tar Heel students are also
programmed to stay and wave
around a pom—pom ifthe game
is close, or bail out at halftime
and hit up the bars and/or frat
houses ifthe game is a blowout,
but that’s another story.
But what did bother me was
the outcome ofthe football
game a contest that was a
must—win for the Wolfpack.
Sure, it’s only one loss, but it
was to our arch-rival and could
have a tremendous impact on
bowl implications a little over a
month from now.
Instead ofbeing 3 -0 and first
place in the ACC, State is 2-1
and tied for third, all because
of a signaled touchdoWn that
wasn’t.
As I sat quietly in the Kenan
Stadium press box, I saw T.A.
McLendon bowl through the
Tar Heels defense and fall to
the ground with not just the
ball, but his arms stretched out
across the goal line.
The bruising run to the end
zone prompted the line judge
closest to the play to throw his
arms in the air signaling touch—
down, and points were put
on the board. But after a brief
meeting among the officials,
the touchdown was nullified.
Then they took 10 seconds off
the clock, which still baffles me
to this day.
After the game, referee Jim
Knight said the touchdown
was not overruled, but was just
ruled down at the l-yard line
after a discussion among the
officials.
This doesn’t make sense, Jim.
If the proper official signals
touchdown, then six points are
put on the board then taken
away, how is that touchdown
not overruled?
The ruling by the other refs
to not signal a touchdown is
comparable to an umpire in
the outfield calling balls and
strikes, or a ref calling an in—
tentional foul on a lay- up when
he’s trailing the play at half
court.
Oh wait, that has already
happened.
It’s reasons like this why we
need instant replay in college
football. We need to take the
element for human error out
of college football as much as
possible, and this can be ac—
complished by giving refs a
second chance to correct their
mistakes.

In an early season match at Maryland last
season, forward Bryant Salter made a play
that had become the norm for him in his
early career at NC. State.
He beat his defender and raced down the
field on a fast break, determined to cross
the ball to one of his teammates or attempt
a shot on goal. Little did he know that'h is
' season would be drastically shortened a
heartbeat later.
“It was late in the game, I made a run
down the right side, I beat my defender and
my leg just pulled up and I couldn’t go anymore,” Salter said.
The then—sophomore tore his hamstring
and was sidelined for the majorityof the remainder of the season. Salter said it was ago -.
nizing for him to have to sit and watch his
teammates play without him for so long.
“It hurt because it took me out pretty
much the whole season. I wasn’t 100 percent
until the ACC tournament.”
Salter was able to make a significant impact in the tournament, scoring the decisive
goal in the penalty kick round to beat North
Carolina. But to be completely ready for his
junior season, Salter had to work diligently
in rehabilitation.
His off-season weekly training regiment
included running in the pool three times
a week to improve range of motion, weight
training, running and stretching.
“A hamstring injury is a real hard thing-to
overcome, and I had to prepare mentally and
physically to get back where I was.”
Unique to Salter’s rehabilitation, however,
was the source of his inspiration: a former
NFL star, who just happened to be his father.
Bryant Salter, Sr. played free safety in the
NFL for eight seasons for the San Diego
Chargers, Washington Redskins and Miami
Dolphins. Recently, he was inducted into the
Chargers Hall of Fame. Salter, Jr. said that
his father was an inspiration in his sports
career, especially during his injury.
“He’s been through a lot of injuries, and
he knows what it takes to be prepared for
every game. He knows that injuries are going
to happen and sometimes you have to play
through them.”
Salter said his father encouraged him to be
relentless and determined during his recov~
ery, especially when times got tough.

Andrea Bentley loves this.
As the NC. State volleyball team stands at attention and
the starters are announced, the eyes of Reynolds Coliseum fall upon the freshman libero. While her distinctive
jersey and retro sweatband may initially attract attention,
it is Bentley’s vivacious spirit and apparent enthusiasm
that will continue to captivate the crowd throughout the
match.
She roars.
Cuing her teammates to begin their ferocious attack,
Bentley sprints down the bench and onto the court. She

“He said it’s hard to come back from~ an
injury, so you just have to work extra hard.
You have to put in extra time after practice.
It’s not like you’re going out there and working out with what you had. You have to get
back to what you had before you improve.
That is a lot harder to do. Sometimes you
want to quit, but you have to stay focused.”
His father’s advice to train twice as hard
in the off-season has paid off for Salter.
Through 10 games this season, Salter is third
on the team with 13 points and tied for second with three goals scored.
“1 think I’m healthier and playing stronger
and better than I was last year,” Salter said.
“My being out there and able to contribute
really means a lot to me and to this team.”
Teammate and senior defender Chris
Catlett agreed.
“He goes a lot harder this year, especially
going from not being able to play last year.
His work ethic and effort on the field and at
practice is just amazing.”
Salter said that his father never pushed
him to be a football player, but wanted him
to pursue what he was best at. Salter, Sr.
chose football for himselfbecause he loved it
and wanted his son to have the same choice
in making a decision that was best for him.
“My dad accomplished exactly what he
wanted to accomplish, and it is all because it
was what he wanted to do. His parents never
pushed him to do any sports, and the only
reason he made it is because he pushed him~
self to do it.”
